Caribbean Roasted Cauliflower (plant-based, gluten-free)
It’s winter in Canada, so I thought we could use a taste of the islands. This roasted cauliflower is smoky and delicious, paired lovingly with a herby, spicy dipping sauce.
Lunch
Whether you’re home for lunch, at school or working, we have some yummy options for you to make ahead or eat fresh. I hope you enjoy these plant-based lunch recipes! ❤️
Spinach Mushroom Quiche (plant-based)
A savory breakfast is a nice change around here, especially lovely for a Sunday brunch. This quiche with mushrooms, peppers, spinach, and feta cheese would be good any time of day though.
Baked Tofu for Sandwiches (plant-based)
Who doesn’t love a good sandwich? This baked tofu will rock any kind of bread you pair with it, from baguette to brioche to regular sliced bread.
Lentil Sausage Rolls with Garden Herbs (plant-based)
Rough puff is a quick and relatively easy method to create flaky layers of crispy pastry for vegan sausage rolls. I found it easier than I originally thought it would be to make all the layers – the key is to keep the dough cold and handle it as little as possible.
Miso Mushroom Pasties (plant-based)
Mushroom pasties are flaky baked hand pies filled with a hearty mushroom filling. These ones have miso in them for an extra umami kick.
Pesto-Feta Swirls (plant-based)
Imagine a savoury treat, like a cinnamon roll, but filled with homemade pesto and feta. They smell and taste amazing!
Chana Masala (plant-based, gluten-free)
A simple, healing, and inexpensive meal to put together when you don’t know what to make for dinner. Chick peas, warming spices, any veggies you have that need eating up, and a side of rice.
African bean and tomato stew (plant-based, gluten-free)
In Madagascar, this bean and tomato stew is called tsaramaso malagasy. It’s a simple, aromatic, and inexpensive meal to throw together.
Really Good Dinner Rolls (plant-based)
Hot and fresh from the oven, these dinner rolls bring me back to my Italian grandmother’s kitchen. The recipe is inspired by a Chilean bread called pan amasado.
Cream of Asparagus Soup (plant-based, gluten-free)
I love the bright green color and velvety texture of this soup. When asparagus is in season (late spring/early summer in Canada), a vegan cream of asparagus soup is a quick and healthy meal to throw together.
